Kill an export or backup job

I have created a job from Oracle 8i Management Server Console which will export an entire database. The job is running and wanted to delete it. So I highlighted the job, and clicked on delete. However I discovered that the data is still exporting. How can i remove it?
Is it safe to delete the pid obtained from 'lsof | grep EXPDATA' where EXPDATA is the name of the dump file where the export data resides?

Another option is to find the SID & SERIAL# with the view V$SESSION looking for the session for the field called PROGRAM and kill the session so:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '<sid>,<serial#>';Joel Pérez

Error: Sheduled Backup Job Problem

Dear all.
I've been getting a problem with a scheduled backup job through OEM since yesterday which I'm not able to find out why as it was working fine. When I access OEM I can see that I have a problem execution and when I investigate why it says "Unable to perform the backup because the database is closed". But my db is open for sure and I'm able to execute the backup from RMAN command line normally. I shut my db down and started it up again but didn't work. Does anybody know why this is happening?
OS: Oracle Enterprise Linux 5
DB: Oracle Database 10g
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
not sure if the recommendations given will address this issue.
You are getting this error:
BR0301E SQL error -1017 at location BrDbConnect-2, SQL statement:
'CONNECT /'
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
the log file indicates:
> No application server found on database host - rsh/gateway will be used
This indicated that the user that is connecting from the AS to the DB server is not properly configured to perform the DB tasks on it.
So, first question would be to know if you have configured a gateway on the DB server and how, or if you are using remote shell.
Second question, you can do backups on the DB server.
> I can run backupjob sucessfully directly from BRtools on database server
How did you run exactly the backup job (what is the exact command line, what is the exact OS user that executed it)?
What is the OS of the DB server?
I have reread your post, your OS is windows therefore you fall in the "typical" error in Windows.
You have executed your backup as <sid>ADM and it works. Unfortunatelly, in windows, SAP is exectuted by SAPSERVICE<sid>, and this is the user who should be connecting to your DB server, and this is the user who cannot execute the backup.
The fact that you can run the backup with <sid>ADM in Windows does not means that you have SAPService<sid> properly configured.
For the error (see before) I think your ops$ user for this user is not properly configured in the DB server. take a look at the note mentioned by KT and pay attention to the SAPSERVICE<sid> configuration

Creating backup Job with DBMS_SCHEDULER

Hello,
Can someone please help me out here:
I'm using Oracle10g release 1 on windowsXP
I'm trying to create a backup job with dbms_scheduler and it's not working.
This is what I did:
I created a job as follows:
BEGIN
dbms_scheduler.create_job (
job_name => 'RMAN_FULL',
job_type => 'EXCUTABLE',
job_action => 'E:\wkdir\rman_bkp',
enabled => TRUE,
start_date => '24-NOV-2007 2:10:00 PM',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=WEEKLY',
comments => 'Full Database Backup');
END;
While rman_bkp is an RMAN command but it wasn't working.
Please where do I get it wrong?
Kindly put me through the EXECUTABLE or should I use PL/SQL_BLOCK and how?
Thanks.
Regards,
Cherish

Hi,
There is a guide to running external jobs using the Scheduler here
Guide to External Jobs on 10g with dbms_scheduler e.g. scripts,batch files
You need to use the full path to a real Windows executable and the arguments to it e.g. for a batch script you would have to do something like
c:\windows\cmd.exe /q /c c:\myscript.bat
There is a forum dedicated to the Scheduler here
Scheduler
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

What is wrong? I scheduled backup job before on this server and it worked.

This may be due to that the schedule frequecy is not set. Make sure Frequency Type and Repeat Every boxes get filled properly.

Can Windows Server Backup spread a single backup job across multiple disks if they are not set up as a virtual disk?

This may be a dumb question, but I can't seem to find any definitive information after having done many, many searches. Short question is - can Windows Server Backup spread a single backup job across multiple disks if they are not in a storage
pool or some other RAID/JBOD structure?
Background:
I'm running Server 2012 Essentials with all Windows Updates installed. I have been backing up approx 2.8TB of data (Bare Metal Recovery, C:, S: (shared folders), and system reserved) for the past year+ onto a storage pool made up of two-2TB external
USB drives. Backup is slow (takes approx 1.5 days to complete), but generally works. Not surprisingly I was constantly getting capacity low messages so I decided to increase my backup storage pool by adding a 3TB drive and another spare 750GB drive
for a total of 7.75TB. Instead of having four separate external USB enclosures, I bot a 4-bay enclosure - Startech.com model #S3540BU33E to simplify this (or so I thought!).
The first problem I had was adding the two new drives to the existing storage pool. I think that is because the Startech uses a JMicron USB controller that reports identical uniqueid's for all drives so only one shows up in the GUI interface for creating storage
pools. After doing research on this, I set up a new storage pool and virtual disk using all four drives via Powershell and thought I was good. However, when the backup ran, it failed after filling the first drive, saying there was no remaining capacity. In
reality there were three remaining empty drives and there storage pool reported almost 5TB of avail capacity. I assumed this was due to the identical uniqueid issue so I decided to try a different tactic.
Instead of using a storage pool that combines all four disks into one virtual disk, I just added each of them to Windows Server Backup as individual drives thinking it would manage them collectively. I.e., when a drive filled up during a particular backup,
it would just start using the next drive and so on. Apparently this was a foolish assumption because the backup failed again as soon as the first disk filled up.
So now I don't know if this is still an issue with the identical uniqueid's or if Server Backup actually can't spread a single backup across multiple individual drives that aren't in a pool or other virtual disk implementation. Hence, my original question.
My guess is that it does *not* spread them across individual disks, but I just wanted to get confirmation.
Thanks

Mandy,
Thank you for following up on my question.
Unfortunately the article you referenced doesn't address what I am trying to accomplish.
The article focuses on saving the same backup job to multiple disks and rotating the disks between on and offsite for enhanced protection. However, it still requires that an individual backup job fits on a single disk.
What I am trying to determine is if a single backup job can span across more than one physical disk (during the backup process) without those physical disks being in some type of virtual disk implementation (e.g., storage pool, RAID, etc.).
Thanks,
Gerry

Rman backup jobs does not start automatically

I have the next question:
When I run such script in RMan:
RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE sbt;
SEND 'OB_MEDIA_FAMILY mf_rman';
BACKUP archivelog all;
It creates job on OSB server:
ob> lsj
Job ID Sched time Contents State
oracle10/6 none database cbs3 (dbid=2397799862) processed; Oracle job(s) scheduled
oracle10/6.1 none archivelog backup retryable at 2010/10/01.23:05 ("lsjob --log oracle10/6.1" for details)
But it doesn't statrt immediatelly at the same time, so I has to run the job manually:
ob> runj -n oracle10/6.1 -d Drive2
ob> lsj
Job ID Sched time Contents State
oracle10/6 none database cbs3 (dbid=2397799862) processed; Oracle job(s) scheduled

How to make Rman start backup job at once?
Edited by: OraSun on 01.10.2010 4:44

If you have created a database storage selector, you don't need to include media manager parameters in the RMAN script. You would include media manager parameters in script, if you want to override the database storage selector settings. For example, in the database storage selector you have indicated that the media family is mf_rman...OSB will automatically use that media family based on database storage selector settings. Per the RMAN script, you want this backup operation to use mf_rman...since database storage selector already defines this, you don't need to include it in the RMAN script. If your database storage selector defines use of mf_rman media family but you want a particular backup to use "foo" media family, then you would include that parameter in your script so it would override the database storage selector.

Is it possible to export a backup from DPM?

Hello,
I need to export a backup from DPM to use it in a test enviroment. I have a SQL database backup and I need to give that version of the database to the DBA. He will use that version of the database in the test envioroment.
So, I need to know how could I export the backup to use the database in a different SQL enviroment.

Hi,
Simply start a recovery for the SQL database and select the option to recover to a network folder. You can browse to any server that has a DPM agent installed for this DPM Server.
If the SQL server in the test environment has a DPM agent installed, you can restore directly to that test server by selecting the option to "Recover to any instance of SQL Server".

Hello Mike Jacquet,
Thanks for your fast reply.
When I start a recovery the option "Copy to a network folder" is not available. I had to look for other method and I found a powershell script.
Import-Module dataprotectionmanager
$global:pg = Get-ProtectionGroup -DPMServerName DPMserver | ? {$_.friendlyname -eq "protection_group"}
$global:ds = Get-Datasource $pg | where {($_.productionservername -eq "SQL Server name ") -and ($_.name -eq "data_base")}
$global:rpl = Get-RecoveryPoint $ds | sort -Property RepresentedPointInTIme -Descending
$global:rpl = $global:rpl[0]
$rop = New-RecoveryOption -SQL -TargetServer "DPMserver" -RecoveryLocation CopyToFolder -RecoveryType Restore -TargetLocation "C:\Folder"
Recover-RecoverableItem -RecoverableItem $rpl -RecoveryOption $rop
This script copy the last version of the database backup to "C:\Folder"... there is just one problem: it takes too much time!

Backup jobs and password changing problem

Hi
I have created few rman job in my db (11.2) to backup database.
I my company i have to change all system passwords (os - oracle, system, syman, etc...) every 90 days.
When i changing password for user who created backup jobs, this jobs stop working.
I,ve got "Invalid username and/or passworderror writing input to command" error.
Of course after changing passords i always setup "Preferred Credentials" but that dosn't help.
What am i doing wrog? What am i missing ?
Please advice.

If you use Preferred Credentials to authorize a Job, it will use the current credentials on the moment it is dispatched for execution.
This means that in case passwords changes, you just need to modify you preferred credentials
This is something you can do using EMCLI (command line interface) in a script for instance (or just use the GUI to modify)

Some free tapes are not used by backup job - dpm 2012 r2

Hi,
I have DPM 2012 R2 with IBM TotalStorage 3572 tape library. It is 8 slot tape library. All was working with initial 8 tapes I added to tape library. I had one Protection group to be archived on 8 tapes. I was doing Daily and weekly backups. Every 2nd week
I would do a weekly backup and keep it for 2 weeks i.e. I need 2 tapes for weekly backups. All was working ok until I introduced two new weekly tapes as a replacement for 2 weekly tapes in library. Because of disaster recovery procedure - I have to take
weekly tapes out of library and store them in disaster recovery location for some time. So I pulled out 2 weekly tapes and added 2 new tapes. New tapes were marked free and they are showing as Free tapes.
Now - the trouble is that these 2 free tapes are not used by backup job and instead - backup job writes weekly backup on any of the available Daily tapes (like from 4-5 days ago) instead of using one of the Free tapes that are available.
I'd like the backup job (Protection group) to use Free tapes first and only if there are no available free tapes - to go and do backup on Daily tape or ask for a free tape.
I am probably doing something wrong here - so I would really appriciate if anyone can help me with this? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Damir.

LMS 3.1 Backup job Failing

Hello,
We have LMS 3.1 installed and the backup is failing with the following message
[Tue Feb 8 09:20:26 2011] ERROR(247): E:/Backup_3/backup.LOCK file exists
Most probably another backup process is running
[Tue Feb 8 09:20:26 2011] Backup failed: 2011/02/08 09:20:26
I tried to do the following, but it didn't work:
1- Run again the backup job, but specify a new backup directory folder (ex: E:/Backup_4/). --> Did not work
2- - Stop the Deamon Manager service using: net stop crmdmgtd --> Did not work
     - Delete the backup.LOCK file from the E:/Backup_3/ folder
     - Restart the Deamon manager service using: net start crmdmgtd
     - Run the backup job again using the new Folder destination.
Please Advise,
Regards,

I am currently working on a same issue with LMS 3.1 on windows;
After stopping dmgtd have you been able to delete the backup.lock or have you restarted the server?
In my case I was not able to delete the file and it turned out dbvalid.exe blocked this. The backup seems to run without any problems. When the backup is done dbvalid.exe trys to verify the backup database files. This validation fails and dbvalid starts dbsupport.exe to get some detail information on the failure and trys to send them to Sybase support. You should find (several ?) crash files here: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\SQL Anywhere 12\diagnostics. dbsupport.exe seems to be started interactively and thus hangs up waiting for some user input...
In the crash file I see dfmInv mentioned as the database which did not pass dbvalid. I assume I will end up reinitializing the dfm databases to recover - but let's wait and see. I found some hints that there could be a bug with dbvalid.exe form Sybase- not sure if this is the culprit or a real DB error. What I found really strange is the cli of dbsupport.exe (see the option -gui at the end... )
D:\PROGRA~1\CSCOpx\objects\db\win32\dbsupport.exe" -crash "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SQL Anywhere 10\diagnostics\SA10_20110215_040218_4348.crash_log" -crashpn "dbeng10" -crashsn "dbvdfmInvEng" -gui
Also, I would quickly backout the last know good backup from the backup directory - just in case... (the one before the failure raised the first time)

SQL Server 2008 R2 Backup jobs are failing

I have a problem with SQL Server 2008 R2. First the management studio package is failing to load. backup jobs on that server are failing to run. The server won't accept any installation. The Installation of .Net Framework failed, the Installation of SQL
server 2008 R2 SP2 also failed, Trying to repair SQL Server through the CD also failed. Actually the server cannot install anything on it. When you try to initiate the installation it comes back and say check online for solution or close the program.
I am desperate here as I cannot backup

When you try to initiate the installation it comes back and say check online for solution or close the program.
Are you sure this is the error, I updated SP2 last week and I got the same message but if I remember correctly there was a continue button as well. Could you post the errors.
SP2 not installing, .net framework not installing, ssms not loading up and backups not running all could be due to different issues. Consider these as different and post error message that you are receiving for the issue which is most important for you.
